S 3401 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits casino and sports wagering licensees from utilizing push notifications or text messages for promotional purposes.

This bill bans casino and sports betting companies in New Jersey from sending promotional push notifications or text messages to customers' phones to encourage betting. It specifically prohibits unsolicited alerts that appear when a user isn't actively using the app (like pop-up messages on a phone screen). The law applies to all casino licensees, their online affiliates, and sports wagering operators, with violations carrying fines of at least $500 per offense. The bill amends existing gambling regulations to implement this restriction.
